DAY ONE

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

I did what I had to do....

Trying hard to make excuses, I asked the girl who owns the gym (and who also sat down with me and devised a 2 week startup plan), "Do old people join Life Fitness? 

 I am old you know? " 

When I told her I was 58, she was quick to tell me

 her age as well...  

The confirmation that I needed to ensure me that I had come to the right place.     

Honestly, her 58 looks more like a 45.  

I'm In.

What Is A Record Player?

American Bandstand Jr.

Where the dancers get tired...

And pretend to be puppies....

And the puppies beg for cookies...

And pretend to be just one of the kids....

What's Happening

We were out of town again last weekend.  

We visited a place called Q-Mart where there was a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  The candy store (above) had the sweetest smell!  It took me back to my childhood days of filling up little paper sacks with 10 cents worth of penny candy.

We stayed in a suite at the Hampton Inn in Bethlehem, PA and it was very nice.  The only problem was, the bed was soft and I don't rest well unless I have a firm mattress.

We took Gary's Mom out for Mother's Day brunch on Sunday morning before we left to come home.

Waiting at home for me was all kinds of Mother's Day goodies.

And a dog who wanted to know:

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!! LEAVING ME ALL ALONE ON A STORMY WEEKEND?!" 

*** don't feel too sorry for the dog.  Lindsey and Rissi take really good care of her while we are away and they visit often to let her out and fill her bowls to overflowing with food and water
